This article lists necessary as well as recommended steps in setting up your development environment for developing Eclipse Gyrex based applications.

When developing Eclipse/OSGi based applications, Target Platforms are used to separate the running Eclipse (which is usually an IDE) from the target Eclipse system (eg., a server). Gyrex provides components that you can easily include in such a target platform.
